Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon, diced
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet, cut side down.
Scatter the diced bacon over the Brussels sprouts.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze by whisking together balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the balsamic glaze over them, tossing gently to coat.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer for a crowd-pleasing addition to any meal.
